The next NASA Mars rover will collect samples of soil and pebbles from Mars in order to bring the collection back to Earth for study. The goal of the collection task is to prove if there was ever life on Mars. The Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) is scheduled for launch in 2009. The sample return mission is currently estimated to occur in 2020.
